Are there any relatively cheap waterproofs (less than £60) that actually keep the rain out? It may say its waterproof on the label but I have bought many waterproof jackets and trousers over the years but most have a very short life as they simply don't keep the rain out. The only thing that I have found that keeps me dry in the rain is my completely unbreathable PVC anorak.

 Have you found anything that does the job?
